Default Top 2pair against villain

Agreed, your 2 pair will get outdrawn by flush draw and A-higher kicker more often then you will improve. Push the flop.

Is the raise with A-small suited on the button standard? People like to limp with hands like A8 and they will not fold them.

Either way. It's situational for me. Sometimes I like to raise limpers to try to take the pot, (same with sooooted connecters) other times I just call for the great odds.

In this spot, I usually call the flop raise and raise any turn (the flush card might kill some action, but I think you'll still get paid (and people, especially at this level, rarely c/r flush draws)) If your top two is beat in this spot, it's too hard to get away from.
